About Gambonanza
Gambonanza is a tactical roguelike played with chess pieces on small boards. You spend money on rule-bending Gambits, board tiles and pieces, then combine them to take on a roster of challenging bosses. Victory requires capturing every piece on the board, not just the king; if you use too many moves, the board crumbles around you.
Build your strategy
You can unlock over 150 Gambits that change the rules and properties of a run, upgrade tiles and store extra pieces in a reserve off the board. Tile upgrades can trap enemies, turn pieces into money-making gold, or add effects such as golden squares, blessings and protection. The reserve lets you deploy stored pieces at a crucial moment, while combinations of pieces, Gambits and tile upgrades create different strategies and synergies.
Boards and challenges
Runs begin on smaller boards and play out in short, high-impact rounds. The game also includes mini-games inspired by pachinko, slot machines and Gachapon, each offering game-changing upgrades.
Pixel-art presentation
Gambonanza uses vibrant pixel art and a nostalgic CRT filter, with a playful fairground atmosphere.
